Rome wasnt built in a day...
Section: 1.32 Freeze Word | Started by: Stema | Date: 03/10/2006 20:07

I just open this topic to tell u not to worry about empty servers! Do u think we created the european community in one week?? i remember my first server empty for whole days...i had to put bots in it not to see it all day empty...and now see how rich this community is :)


So give time to time, we will need months to be known...and im sure some europeans, the same way it was 4 years ago, that are playing in usa servers will notice new eu servers and will join!


And finally, dont offend ppl who is still opening servers in 1.31: i think they just want to  keep the 1.31 community alive, expecially for the ones who cant still connect to 1.32. Lets try to convince them (maybe they dont read this site), but pls dont start a war :)


ciao, stema

i so agree with you .. you needed to make that bots got on server if there were less than 2 players playing and it worked, as while u were kicking bot's ass players came up .. same was with efreeze, nobody has it at first, pure servers were always empty in the beginning and it needed quiet some time to get where it is now .. i saw today 15 players on bedzie, which is great .. mornings are empty, evenings are good .. mostly new maps boots most of the players down, but ppl will get them in time ..


and as u said, if n3, or what's the name of the clan, wants to play on 1.31, let them be there .. let them have those shitty servers .. we're now 1.32 community and that's where things will be rocking .. leagues are planned already and we'll surely make some fun parties over there .. we just need some more ppl to get involved in this ..


well cu on 1.32 ..

ok totally agree with you guys, came here to post what you said but you beat me to it...since im here however I'll say it anyway.


I didn't think the idea of this move should be to kill off all 1.31 freeze servers and end a 1.31 community and I would argue that we dont have a right to try to do that.  


We decided that OUR community will move over.  As long as the main clans, servers and most of the players in this community move then thats whats important.  From this base we will soon attract new players and build things up from there... we have a good community and some really good servers (especially for european pings) so I'm sure we will attract many new players.  Already seen some new faces on my server and an RNR player came to check it out.


Stick with it people, gonna leave my server (WeeD) on 1.32 for the longer term, opened it properly tonight and its had atleast some people on it continually since i did.


Take care...Fragbait

 I try to summon the other threads up, too.


Well, of course I agree with you guys, there are far more servers and players in 1.32 and after some time, our (now a bit smaller) community will grow again.


People still have and will have problems but I see the forum is used more and more to help people, and it succeds!


They will get the maps after a while too. about psylle's idea: it's always in the eye of the beholder which maps rock and which don't. I tried to compile a cool map pack for all. I think it's a good idea to first let them get the new maps, and after a while look at the maps you proposed and then introduce them slowly too! -----> will custom maps be part of further clanwars? should be fun....!


server stats: slowly the "more new" people awake too! thx to moyse, he put up first stats, and the others will follow this idea, good job!


Settings: different settings were always used in the past, but with adam's cfg. we almost eliminated this problem! moreover everybody has access to this settings and can thus adjust his server! playing vs. usa clans and have the same settings as them should not be our highest priority! these wars will be mostly for fun anyway... ...and on EMS new york, my ping is around 110. which is quite ok!


And there are still new ideas: ladder, player market, tourneys, parties... which will make 1.32 still more attractive!


Keep it up and we will succeed!  :p

i think that we should first let people settle a bit, we got a new patch, punkbuster and new maps now. wait a few weeks let everyone find there place. mabey a league but i think that if you introduce new maps now again people will onley be downloading over and over again.



(wait at least a month for our belgium friends to freeup some more download limit gna gna gna :D)
dont forget that with the current settings (valid keys required) some people are not able to make the step over. cos they will be kicked cos of dubbel or invalid guid.
Valid keys are not required. Empty keys are forbidden.
